>> paula broadwell has chosen not to talk to the media yet. but what the allegations are is that not only was she having an affair with the director but that she was trying and she had access in some ways to his personal g mail account. that g mail account is not the same as the classified cia e-mail, but it can provide the kinds of details that would be extremely interesting to america's adversaries such as his travel schedule, rumors about other sort of senior officials in the obama administration, and other personal details of the director's life that really would be a security risk if they got into the hands of say the chinese military or something like that. >> right. eli, at first it appeared that david petraeus resigned as a matter of honor and respect for the cia and his position there. but some are now saying he was trying to get ahead of this fbi investigation. but would that change anything? >> well, the question here becomes was there another news outlet, was there potentially another person who knew of this. who was either using t

the paula broadwell role is so juicy. you know who has to win, angie jolie. the sex appeal, the toughness. can't you see the scenes of her and the general running through the mountains of afghanistan during which they find a cave and do some cardio. back at home we see the wife, holly petraeus, played by kathy bates. we get bruce willis to play general allen because his entrance makes the story even more bizarre. and to play jill kelley, the hot wife who unnerved the tough broadwell and made an fbi agent go mad and called the fbi launching the whole investigation i would would point back to her, we get, yep, kim kardashian. so what if she can't act. no one can resist her. a general is sending her thousands of e-mails, the sfib sending her shirtless photos, and who will play him, that fbi agent? that's a no-brainer. the situation. we get tom cruise as eric cantor, the congressman who knew before the election, and will smith as the president who didn't know until afterward. but this movie isn't just about war and spies and elicit nook can i. it it's about also
